    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to oppose the Motion of Adjournment. Parliament is always complaining about the fact that we do not have the necessary muscle. We have gone so far as amending our Standing Orders, so that we can flex our muscles and show outrage when we are outraged. This House is not outraged by the fact that the individual Justice Aron Ringera has been reappointed. But we are outraged by the Executive’s impunity of breaking a law that this House passed and getting away with it. The Executive is taking this House for granted. If the Executive was so serious, all it needed to do was to revoke the gazette notice that has suddenly disappeared from the shelves and go ahead and move the Appropriation Bill. But just to show that they are not very sincere with this House, they have withdrawn the Appropriation Bill from the Order Paper, so that they can get away with what they have done. I am the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation and one of the things that we wanted to make an example of is the gazette notice that has purportedly been published, so that we could demand that the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs on behalf of the Executive, tables it before the House, failure to which we could then ask this House to recede and have that gazette notice revoked. We have called the Government Printer and they have declined to give us a copy of that Gazette Notice. This shows that they want us to go on this six weeks break while the process goes on."
